Pacific Energy together with its integrated renewable subsidiary Hybrid Systems Australia (HSA) has a joint three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Gumala Aboriginal Corporation (GAC).

GAC is one of the largest Aboriginal corporates, serving Banjima, Yinhawangka and Nyiyaparli people of the Pilbara region in Western Australia.

Under the MOU, GAC will identify remote communities in the Pilbara for the introduction of sustainable, renewable energy, reducing reliance of fossil fuel generators. Hybrid Systems is converting those remote communities to hybrid power by incorporating solar and battery storage with existing generators through the installation of Hybrid Systems’ industry leading Stand-Alone-Power-Systems (SPS).

SPS’ consist of reliable renewable energy supplied from solar panels, battery storage, and a backup generator. The Hybrid Systems’ SPS units utilise world-class componentry, with all design, manufacturing, assembly, installation, commissioning, operating & maintenance occurring in-house and locally in Perth, Western Australia, with a proven record of quality, reliability, and performance in remote conditions.

The programme will provide remote communities with reliable power supply, alongside environmental and cost benefits.

Pacific Energy CEO Jamie Cullen noted the importance of the partnership with GAC:

“We are delighted to have entered this partnership with GAC and to be able to utilise our skills and experience in remote, hybrid energy generation to add to the incredible work and initiatives that GAC undertakes to benefit the lives and futures of the Banjima, Yinhawangka and Nyiyaparli Traditional Owners”

“This is a practical, useful and environmentally responsible way that Pacific Energy is utilising our specialist capabilities to give back to local communities”

We are pleased to partner with Capricorn Metals and Maca on a recycling initiative for the Karlawinda site.

All cardboard and paper on site will be bailed via a compactor and sent for recycling with all
funds from the program to be donated to the Perth Children’s Hospital.

For the first time in 2022, Pacific Energy has joined the Up All Night Walk to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald House Charity WA (RMHC) is an independent, notfor profit organisation that offers safe, comfortable, home away from home for parents and families with seriously and critically ill children. They provide the sick children in their time of need, the best gift of all – their families.

A team of 26 across the group is walking the 42km marathon at night on the 26 November, giving an insight into the sleepless nights spent by the parents who stay at the house. The team has currently raised over $32,000 for the worthy charity.
